- Gather necessary tools: measuring tape, level, drill, screwdriver, saw (if track adjustment is needed).
- Clear the installation area of any obstructions.
5.2 Installation Steps
Follow these steps for a quick and efficient installation:
- Install the Rail and Front Cover: Secure the top track to the header of your door opening using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is level and properly aligned. Attach the matching fascia board to the front of the track to conceal the hardware.
- Install Rollers to Door Panels: Attach the roller assemblies to the top edge of each door panel. The door panels are pre-drilled for easy attachment of the finger pulls.
- Hang the Doors to the Rail: Carefully lift each door panel and engage the rollers with the top track. Adjust as necessary to ensure smooth movement and proper alignment. Install the floor guide to keep the doors stable and prevent swinging.

6. Operating Instructions
Your JUBEST sliding closet door is designed for smooth and quiet operation. To open or close the doors, simply grasp the finger pulls and slide the door panels along the track. The bypass system allows both doors to move independently, providing access to either side of the closet opening.
- Ensure the track is free of debris to maintain smooth sliding.
- Avoid forcing the doors if they encounter resistance; inspect the track and rollers for obstructions.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
To clean the door panels, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the primed surface. Regularly wipe down the top track and floor guide to remove dust and debris, ensuring continued smooth operation.
7.2 Painting
The door panels come pre-primed in white and are paintable on both sides, allowing you to customize them to match your home décor. Before painting, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper if desired for better paint adhesion, then apply your chosen paint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
